Sailing to India on the Silver Wind

These days sailing to India…I was going to write about each day separately, but honestly these days smooshed together. We slept a lot both days, that is for sure. We did other things too, like played Scrabble, played trivia with our old British team and we ate a lot. Meals included pizza and Indian food […]

The Silver Wind

We had planned on going to breakfast some time before 10:30am, but when we awoke at 1pm…well, that was not possible. We packed, got ready, and arranged for a taxi to take us to Port Rashid around 2:30. Before leaving, we enjoyed a fantastic lunch by the pool and fountains. I had the chicken briyani, […]

Flying to Lima, Peru

We left from Newark at 3pm for the 8 hour non-stop flight to Lima, Peru on Continental Airlines. The flight was very easy and I slept a bit, ate a bit, and tried to comfort Dave during this excruciating headache he was having. Soon then it seemed it was time to land. When we were […]

Sleeping to Prague

This flight….well, I don’t really remember much.  We left late from JFK, Dave and I managed to get seats together after some bargaining with other passengers, and then we talked for quite a while until dinner came.  I was expecting that dinner was going to be good – this was Air France, after all.  Christina […]

Back Up Over

I’m writing this on my flight from SFO to BOS. We have about 30 minutes left and I am at hour 37 of this day. Really, it has been May 3rd for 37 hours. One more hour to go. Stupid date line. We woke up around 8:30 but didn’t really get started until 9. We […]

The day that wasn’t

Ummm….so I didn’t really do this day. I guess this should just be the flight, so I’ll just note that the flight was actually awesome. We ate shortly after take-off, then I watched some 30 Rock while reclining on 3 pillows. The deal was that I had to stay up for about 4-5 hours at […]
